A Case of Congenitally Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries (CCTGA)  Abstract  Recent years, much scientific attention has been given to congenital heart diseases (CHD) and probable complications. Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare, complex form of congenital heart defects. CCTGA is characterized by atrioventricular (AV) and ventriculoarterial (VA) discordance and hence by a physiologically normal direction of blood flow sometimes called “double discordance”. The development of complete AV block and global ventricular dysfunction has been identified as the cause of cardiac death. This paper presents a case of CCTGA with rhythm disorders and exertional dyspnea.  Keywords: Congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries; arrhythmias  Introduction  Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries of the heart is a rare form of congenital heart disease that was first described by Von Rokitansky in 1875 [1].

  Pattern of Congenital Heart Disease Diagnosed by Echocardiogram Patient Admitted in a Rural Setup Tertiary Hospital Ahmed TU 1 ,  Rahman MM 2 , Quddush ASMR 3 Abstract Background & objective: Congenital heart disease is a defect in the structure of heart and great vessels present at birth. Early recognition will help to treat the child and if possible get corrective surgery done. The aim of this study was to observe the pattern of congenital heart disease in our set-up. Patients and Methods: This descriptive study based on echocardiographic findings over a period of 3 year from January 2013 to December 2015 conducted in Community Based Medical College Bangladesh. Mymensingh. Patients consent was obtained from patient’s parents before echocardiography. A total of 100 children found to have congenital heart disease by echocardiography were studied and analysed for frequencies of lesions, sex ratio and mean age. Results: One hundred patients, comprising 55(55%) male and 45(45%) fema
